Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), launched under President Trump, has stirred controversy in Washington due to its aggressive tactics aimed at cutting wasteful government spending. While its goal resonates in California, where inefficiencies persist in a massive $322 billion budget, critics highlight the reckless methods employed, including unilateral power grabs and hasty implementation that lacks legal oversight. The state needs a precise approach to reform rather than the chaotic sledgehammer tactics of DOGE. The call for a data-driven audit of governmental departments represents a more suitable strategy for tackling California's ongoing fiscal challenges.
DOGE's methods—unilateral power grabs, reckless data access, and a cavalier disregard for legal boundaries—are a masterclass in what not to do.
California's government is rife with waste. The Legislative Analyst's Office routinely flags billions in questionable allocations.
